Room with a View

It was a nice day today, and I manged to get the window open to enjoy some fresh air. Capital view no? There's a parking lot just beyond the trees for the neighboring apartments.

First of Three Trials

Survived my first round of midterms. There will be another set at the end of October, and then finals in December. Celebrated with pizza. Woot.

Cingularity

I got a new mobile plan and number today. I've indentured myself (again) for two years to Cingular AT&T. I used to be with Cingular back in VA, and was about as happy as one can be with a telecom. I switched to Verizon when I moved to NJ, because (1) Cingular in NJ wanted $20 more a month to localized my phone number (because I was just a teensy bit outside of my VA calling plan), and (2) my company had a deal with Verizon that made it seem worth trying. In a word, my Verizon experience blew. Basically they never listened to me. I'm so looking forward to calling them up and canceling my Verizon plan. Hey Verizon! Can you hear me now?! Bitches. Ah, but what'll they care? They got what they wanted; my money in their pocket. That's what they're really talking about when they say "America's most reliable network".

Bangkok Barbeque

Go there. Spend money. Eat. Enjoy.

I'm in tight with one of the owners. Not that you should see him there. He has another day job. :P But hey I can get you free spring rolls and/or grilled corn with your order! (via their website coupon *cough* ...and all bets are off come October 15th.) See the kind of pull I have? *flex* Yep, I'm that connected! Bon appetit.

<.<

What?

Palmetto-Ba-Da-BOOM!

By the way, Palmetto bugs are filled with juicy black ichor, and explode when you stomp on them. Good thing I discovered this on a linoleum floor rather than on carpet! Lucky too that they tend to be more solitary critters, unlike German cockroaches which breed in the bazillions. So our apartment had a palmetto bug. Then big ba-da-boom! The rest you can guess.
